Can't find <linux/init.h> and <linux/module.h>

[nomadoro]

Hi, I just began reading a Linux device driver tutorial:
Writing device drivers in Linux: A brief tutorial
But I can't find the required init.h and module.h and some other header files. Should they lie in the /usr/include/linux directory? Or, if they are not installed in my system, what should I do?

You need to install the kernel-source (or kernel-devel) package.

I just installed the kernel-devel package, but still I can't find these header files.

It could be that you also need to have the kernel-headers installed. On my openSUSE 10.3 system, the headers you mentioned are provided by kernel-source.

You must use the kernel headers of the kernel you are compiling against. Using the default /usr/include/linux won't work.

Makefile should like this;
----------------------------------------------------------------
TARGET := hello-1
WARN := -W -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes
INCLUDE := -isystem /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/include
CFLAGS := -O2 -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ ${WARN} ${INCLUDE}
CC := gcc-3.0

${TARGET}.o: ${TARGET}.c

.PHONY: clean

clean:
rm -rf {TARGET}.o
----------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks!
Besides, I have found that these header files are in the kernel directory instead of the standard include directory.
